Four adults charged with sexual abuse of mentally retarded sisters only given 4-6 year prison sentence

Four adults (ages 50~60) were given prison sentences ranging from 4-6 years for the sexual assault of two sisters in their teens and 20s. One other neighbor who had attempted to rape the eldest sister but failed was given probation.

They had become friends with the parents for the sole purpose of gaining access to their house to abuse the sisters. Mentally, the sisters are at the level of a 4~7 year old, and the assaulters abused the fact that they are not proficient in language enough to explain to their parents what was happening.

A had started by touching the breasts of the youngest daughter, which went unnoticed by the parents. He took it a step further by following the eldest daughter home one summer day and sexually assaulting her.

Another told the parents that they wanted to invite the daughters over to his house for dinner, which ended in the sexual assault of the eldest.

Another called the parents out to treat them at a restaurant while the other sexually assaulted the sisters at home.

Another used the tactic of going over to the sisters' house and asking one of them to go back to his home to fetch a medicine he had accidentally left behind. He'd follow her back home and assault her there.

They were charged for the "quasi-rape of the mentally challenged".

"4-6 years... I don't even know what to say because I'm just so stunned.."

"Disgusting beings... Aren't you scared of the heavens?"

"'Evil adult neighbors'??? Change the title to 'Evil adult neighbors and the judges'... How does it make any sense at all that the people who sexually abused the mentally challenged were only given prison sentences of 4-6 years??? There's clearly something wrong with the judge himself."

"Isn't it time to change the law now...? Please increase the sentence..."

"4-6 years??? Only 4-6 years for these evil criminals who manipulated the weak for their own sexual needs?? What are you going to do about the wounds these kids are suffering from? The ripping pain in the hearts of their parents? It wouldn't be enough to rip them to shreds and yet only 4-6 years? The law is more disgusting than the case!"

"The neighbors aren't the only evil adults here... Clearly the judges are just as evil."

"Not adults, animals."

"The food that will be fed to them in jail is a waste. Just kill them off."

"Probation??? When will there ever be a real punishment?"

"If I had been their father, I wouldn't have reported them to the police... I would've killed them all with my own hands."

reminds me of the movie dogani/silenced with gongyoo... ): Korea really needs to fix their laws on these kinds of things, it's absolutely disgusting that sick minded people like them can just walk out of jail in 5 years and do the same thing to other unsuspecting families.. no one will ever learn with pushover laws like this

4-6 years? Fucking pathetic. Korea, in all matter of being my motherland, disgusts me once again.

I'd rather see those slimeballs executed, exiled to some godforsaken hellhole or put in prison with absolutely zero chance of parole. And let the damn inmates and guards torture them every day at it too.

These motherfuckers shouldn't be seen or considered as humans. Hell, if the judge decided to use the death penalty, I can imagine those sorry-ass human right groups making a big fuss about it in the news. Let's be frank - the judges, justice system and courts in Korea are all fucking pussies and cowardly sacks of shit that need to grow a pair.

Off topic from this article. I just watch the news, in 2011 a guy run into pedestrian walk hitting a mother and her baby. The baby died and she's suffering from a brain damage. She can't walk properly, having difficulties speaking, can't have baby, and her marriage failed. Today the judge made a final verdict, the man is sentenced for 50hours of community service, no jail term. Injustice and corrupt systems happens everywhere.

I was thinking the same thing. It definitely reminded me of Dogani and the sentences these people get are too lenient. Even the Open World Entertainment CEO didn't get a heavy sentence for all that he's done. Those laws need to change.

YOU SEE? That's why I was so on the case about rape offenders! This shows that the system does not protect victims well, especially women. How can it be that people actually shield their beloved idols when they are suspected of convicting rape? (*reference to the Dongho post on NB elsewhere)

So those fucking assholes will get free after 4-6 years? And the judges believe that after those years everything will be okay? They sound so sick that what would stop them doing it again after 4 years? And those girls will have to live with it for the rest of their lives.

And yet people (in general, not you) just love to bash the US's judicial system .If this happened in the US, they've wouldn't have gotten 5-10 years. At the very least, they would have got 15+ years if this was in America and not even that's enough.

They're not children. One is in her teens while the other is in her 20s. But I'm not saying that those bastards should be off the hook. That's disgusting that they had the nerve (as fucking old as they are) to rape those two sisters who had the minds of 6-7 years due to their disease. How would they feel if someone raped their grandchildren or even worse, their GREAT grandchildren?

Ok, Korea, when it comes to laws like this you have to be harsh as possible or they will happen again. You make 'examples' out of everyone else for pety things but not one for this? Give one of these mofos life. Show others like them that your not taking any of this anymore.

WTF !! Imagine how the girls&the parents must have felt ! Someone who they may have think as "a friend", someone who they thought, were coming genuinely...They went for justice and here what they got. This is so unfair...You can't trust anyone -_-'

They need to hold organized protests and file petitions... sitting around doing nothing and commenting on the articles and forgetting about these issues the next day won't make a difference. Just saying... not trying to attack you just saying that this is what has to be done.

Disgusting! Don't these people have their own family or relatives? Didn't they ever think of the people who love them before doing that? I wonder if the neighbourhood is like Maru's neighbourhood in Nice Guy (just an example) where you couldn't care less about what happen to others and what comes first is survival of live.

4-6 years is not sufficient for the terrible crimes.The korean justice system should definitely change their laws,esp regarding sexual assualt/rape cases.Reminds me of the heartbreaking movie "The crucible".The real life victims on whom the story was based never got the total justice they deserved.After so many years of struggling,the judge just gave a half-assed sentence to two of the accused,and the rest 4 of them were left off.Sad :(

What the actual fuck is wrong with people and a criminal justice system that lets these monsters off with a slap on the wrist? Also, "mental retardation" is term no longer used in the field, it's "developmentally disabled".

The other article said that he had time to break but he didn't. He tried to fix the mat 3 times, when if he spend that time to brake the car he could actually avoid the accident. Even if this is an incident, 50 hours of community service? really? I could smell a fishy thing here. http://bit.ly/VDwz8c

"If I had been their father, I wouldn't have reported them to the police... I would've killed them all with my own hands." this.. those bastards need to rot in jail and then rot in hell for what they did... I bet that if the sisters' dad kill those bastards, then he'll be the one getting life imprisonment... and the sisters' abuse would be there forever...

No I understand. I know sitting around won't do anything, but alas I don't live in Korea, nor do I speak the language so I can't go down there myself and do anything. I wish Korean social workers would do something about this, which is why I said people need to advocate for change.
